Flag Myself

TO: flag@whitehouse.gov

SUBJECT: Fishy

Dear Flag,

Today I thought impure thoughts about the President's healthcare. I
thought it would cost too much, provide no improvement in care (actually
even worsen care!) and that it would expand the government bureaucracy
far too much. But then I got to thinking that the President has my
welfare in mind and that if He thinks this is good for me then it should
be good for Him too, right? Oh, wait...

Apparently Stephen Crowder of Big Hollywood inspired this piece by a friend who, hoping to maintain future federal job prospects, chooses to remain anonymous. Needless to say, they didn't actually email it to the enemies list at the White House.

Conformity is the New Dissent

OCRegister.com: "'Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help,' continued Commissar Phillips.

'If you get an e-mail or see something on the Web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.'

Reporting dissent is the highest form of patriotism! Is your neighbor suspiciously 'well-dressed'? Is he mouthing off about cancer survival rates under socialized medical systems while wearing a cravat? Give us his name, and we'll give you his spats! Just go to flag@whitehouse.gov, not to be confused with flagging@whitehouse.gov., which is the e-mail address for reporting President Obama's latest approval rating."

Thanks, Mark Steyn, for keeping us laughing through it all.
